Psalm 139-God’s great knowledge of us. Seeing God with awe and wonder.

God knows us intimately. He knows everything about us. God knows our thoughts, motives, and our true self. He knows our past and our future. He has always known our name even before we were born.

“Since it is God we are speaking of, you do not understand it. If you could understand it, it would not be God.”— Augustine

The Psalms give us permission to be honest about the challenges we face in life. But they also show us how we need to be honest with ourselves. We need to reveal to God our true heart and let him clean us out.

When praying, we tend to only bring our requests to God. However, David shows us the following pattern:1. Praise and give thanks 2. Make our requests 3. Ask God to search our hearts and change us

Group Discussion (Part 1):

Have someone read Psalm 139:1-18 again. How does it impact you? What stands out to you and why?

What does God’s great knowledge of you tell you about him?

Group Discussion (Part 2):

How do you typically pray? Does it follow David’s pattern?

Are you honest with God? Do you allow him to see the depths of your heart and change you accordingly? Why or why not?
